I think amniotic fluid is promising, but I think it might take awhile to get there. Removing the fluid can be dangerous for the baby, er, "using" the fluid. Why doctors don't encourage amnocentesis, it's invasive. But I remember reading an article about it and being excited

H.R. 5 Is Bad News For Students, Really it is.dalehendoMarch 14 2007, 22:19:38 UTC
Most support the H.R. 5 bill without even fully understanding the bill and it's additions (Sunshine Act & Star Act). Rightfully so, since its sugar coded with, "It's going to lower your student loan interest rates”! Yes, loan rates will drop .68% every year for the next 5 yrs however, it's not an instant drop and it's ONLY on subsidized loans. Most student loan borrowers loans are unsubsidized loans, which will not be reduced at all. Also, subsidized loan rates will change right back to 6.80% once the 5yr term is over, just in time for those new graduates to become responsible for the interest on these loans. Hmm, sounds like the Govt is just giving themselves a break, not the students. Additionally, H.R. 5 and it's additions will increase the fees to FFELP lenders which will force a lot of these lenders out of the student loan industry, minimizing borrowers choices and reducing incentives only FFELP lenders give to borrowers costing student loan borrowers THOUSANDS of dollars in interest. The GOVT is trying to monopolize the industry

Thoughts? I just don't see it necessary to use embryonic stem cells when amniotic ones will work just the same without the moral dilemma.
